The wait is finally over! The most anticipated celebrity wedding of the year has officially taken place. Tollywood superstars Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda—who first captured hearts in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade—tied the knot today in a breathtaking, highly guarded ceremony in Udaipur, Rajasthan.
Embracing the couple-name lovingly bestowed upon them by their massive fandom, the duo officially named their multi-day celebration “The Wedding of VIROSH.” From a strict no-phone policy and dual traditional ceremonies to a Pushpa 2 dance performance and a Japanese-themed dinner, here is the complete, exclusive breakdown of everything that happened at the sensational Rashmika-Vijay wedding today.
The Two Ceremonies: Honoring Telugu and Kodava Roots
To beautifully respect both of their cultural backgrounds, the couple planned two distinct wedding ceremonies for today.
- The Telugu Wedding (Completed): At exactly 10:10 AM this morning, Vijay and Rashmika officially became husband and wife. The couple exchanged vows and completed the traditional Telugu Hindu rituals honoring Vijay’s heritage. Following the ceremony, the couple’s team distributed sweets to the paparazzi stationed outside the venue.
- The Kodava Wedding (Upcoming): Later today, at around 4:00 PM against the backdrop of the setting sun, the couple will marry again—this time following the traditional Coorgi (Kodava) customs to honor Rashmika’s roots.
- The Theme: Reports indicate the main wedding followed a unique “primal” theme—stripping away modern flashiness for an old-world charm deeply rooted in authentic, decades-old Indian traditions.
The Venue & The Strict “No-Phone” Policy
The wedding festivities are taking place at the ultra-luxurious ITC Mementos Ekaaya in Udaipur. Sprawling across 106 acres in the Aravalli hills, the venue offered the perfect blend of natural beauty and extreme privacy.
- The Security: To ensure their special moments remained intimate, the couple implemented a strict “no-phone policy.” Guests were reportedly handed black bags to cover their mobile phone cameras upon entry. Additionally, heavy local police presence, private bouncers, and anti-drone measures were deployed to prevent any unauthorized aerial footage from leaking online.
Pre-Wedding Madness: Sports, Sangeet, and Heirloom Bangles
The celebrations kicked off on February 24 with a unique blend of casual fun and emotional moments.
- The Virosh Premiere League: Ditching traditional formal wear for their welcome party, the couple hosted a spirited afternoon of pool volleyball and cricket matches for their families, setting a relaxed, joyful tone for the week.
- The Japanese Dinner: Reflecting Rashmika’s love for Japanese culture, the first night featured a specially curated Japanese dining experience. The tables were adorned with green apples, hydrangeas, and custom-embroidered napkins bearing the “VIROSH” logo.
- The Sangeet Night: The venue lawn was transformed into a beautiful photo gallery, with standee banners displaying the couple’s private memories over their 7-year relationship. During the performances, Rashmika thrilled guests by dancing to the hit track Angaaron from Pushpa 2, while Vijay brought the house down with a spontaneous, hilarious routine to Psy’s Gangnam Style.
- The Emotional Gift: In one of the most touching moments of the pre-wedding festivities, Vijay’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, presented Rashmika with traditional family heirloom bangles, symbolizing her official welcome into the family.
A South Indian Feast in Rajasthan
Despite being in the heart of Rajasthan, the food menu was an absolute tribute to the South. Guests were welcomed with coconut water and served traditional meals on banana leaves. The massive feast featured a rich amalgamation of Telangana, Andhra, and Karnataka cuisines. Delicacies included Hyderabadi dum biryani, natukodi pulusu, Old City keema samosas, and ferocious Kodagu treats like pandi curry and kadambuttu.
The Intimate Guest List & The PM’s Blessings
Unlike massive Bollywood spectacles, the Udaipur wedding was kept strictly intimate, with only around 50 to 100 close family members and friends in attendance.
- The Attendees: Close industry friends who played pivotal roles in their journey were present, including Arjun Reddy and Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Tharun Bhascker, Rahul Ravindran, Eesha Rebba, Ashika Ranganath, and Kalyani Priyadarshan.
- The Prime Minister’s Letter: Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his heartfelt wishes to the newlyweds. In a letter addressed to Vijay’s parents, he wrote: “It marks the beginning of a new beautiful chapter in the lives of Vijay and Rashmika… Heartiest congratulations to the Deverakonda and Mandanna families.”
The Grand Finale: Hyderabad Reception
While the Udaipur events were for a tight-knit circle, the entire South Indian and Hindi film fraternities are preparing to celebrate with the couple next week. Vijay and Rashmika will host a massive, star-studded wedding reception at the Taj Krishna in Hyderabad on March 4, 2026.
As fans eagerly refresh their feeds waiting for the official wedding portraits to drop, one thing is certain: The “Wedding of VIROSH” is the perfect Hollywood-style ending to a beautiful, years-long modern romance.
